Niko spent five years in the Foster Care system, which ignited his passion for using his voice to uplift struggling foster youth. Grateful to his former caseworker for nurturing this passion, he connected with a nonprofit organization advocating for systemic change within the system. Now, as a full-time university student pursuing a degree in psychology, Niko is dedicated to using his lived experiences to help others, striving to remind them that they are strong, intelligent, valued, and loved.
